Dust Filter Fabric

A polypropylene textile used to keep soil separate from water. Comes in many different forms and is used for constructing roads, lining ponds, and in many erosion control projects.

A form of erosion control, whereby fabric is "wrapped around" the timber abutment in order to prevent soil loss. This fabric allows for water to freely pass through while not allowing soil loss. This is used on all YBC timber abutments.

A middle layer of green roof construction, above the drainage layer and below the green roof medium. Its purpose is to filter small particles and prevent the drainage layer from clogging.

I took this photo early this morning during my balloon flight in Temecula. I think the sky and photo and conditions were totally spectacular; I'm so thrilled I captured this, Thanks for all your comments and raves!

I used a polorizing filter and the sun was at the pefect angle both horizontaly and vertically to maximize the polorization (at least that is my theory, seriously) So that has a lot to do with why this turned out so golorious. Also. . .This was just after a storm so the dust and dirt was all cleared out of the sky, the snow was VERY fresh, we are at the peak of southern CA lushness of vegatation, greenery etc. So all of these things are about what made this photo so vibrant. (The photo was glorious right out of the camera and needed very little processing.)

Also contributing to the making of this photo: I would call it "the glisten factor" (like sparkle, gleam, shine, etc.) Especially because of recent rains, it just got done raining hours before the flight; an average pilot would not push the limit and fly right after a storm.

As a matter of fact, I almost did not get the balloon off the ground this morning, the fabric laid over on a light pole and ripped a little bit at the launch. . . I had 10 paying passengers onboard. . . So we REALLY wanted to fly; other balloons were trying to inflate but they just quit and gave it up.

So hopefully all this description helps explain how I got this photo: It boils down to the fact that. . . unlike the average photographer. . . I am totally willing to do what ever it takes to get the shot. And that is one thing that sets me apart.

Neg Salvaged color Scan Fuji FP 100B

Self Portrait on Fuji FP-100B Negative still attached to the backing with the filter removed via the Chlorine process. the edges lifted from bleach getting under the tape and softening the emulsion (mabey an emulsion lift is possible with bleach?)Taken with a 50mm Mamiya Sekor Lens #8 Yellow Filter on a Mamiya RB67 Pro S body. I dont consider this art though it is a one of a kind self orchestrated snapshot with a distinctly analog procedure to create, and was deliberately distressed. like with humanity, the imperfections are what makes each image unique, including the scanned dust and fabric tendrils. making a mona lisa grin was the most difficult part.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the International Workshop of Sequences, Subsequences and Consequences, SSC 2007, held in Los Angeles, CA, USA, in May/June 2007.The 16 revised invited full papers and 1 revised contributed paper presented together with 3 keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and selected for presentation in the book. The theory of sequences from discrete symbol alphabets has found practical applications in many areas of coded communications and in cryptography, including: signal patterns for use in radar and sonar; spectral spreading sequences for CDMA wireless telephony; key streams for direct sequence stream-cipher cryptography; and a variety of forward-error-correcting codes. The workshop permits leading researchers on sequences from around the world to present their latest results and recent developments in this important field.

Survey Says!

I have decided that this year will be my first year offering a calendar of my work, however I am slightly undecided about a few things. First of all, I would really like to make the calender affordable and still be a decent quality without printing 1000 of them. As much as I would love to say that I thought I could sell anywhere near this many, I really do not want to be stuck with 950 2011 calendars. lol. I have looked at a few options and places like Vistaprint will make a very cheap calendar and the quality will be reflected in the price. Adorama would allow me to make a very nice one and even allow me to print it on Metallic paper which I would love to do but at $40 a pop this just doesn't make sense. One other option I am considering would be a single page wall calendar with a ton of my images in a similar style to what I have posted here. These can be made fairly large and fairly cheaply and still use nice paper. I could even design one where I used whatever paper I wanted and just had it created like a print. That might be the best option but of course it would only function as a visual calendar.

So what do you guys think?

1. Who buys these calendars?

2. Do you know a print house that would like to work out a business arrangement with me? I would love to work out something in trade for some image licensing.

3. What do you think about the single page wall calendar approach?

4. Do you have any experiences to share about previous calendar printing you have done either locally or online?

5. If I choose to do a standard 12 month calendar, do you think a mixture of photos is better that match the months of the year or a single theme, like waterfalls...for the entire calendar?

Thanks in advance for all your ideas and thoughts. I really appreciate the help. Speaking of calendars, we have finalized the dates for our 2011 Exposure Northwest 1 day Processing Workshops. They will be held Feb 26th & Oct 29th in Portland. The blog will be updated soon and in the meantime you can check out the rest of our 2011 schedule by clicking below.

Cat's Eye meets fly eyes

Cat's Eye DVD reflecting computer monitor's wall paper (the fly eyes from the "I don't think so" image a few photos down). This was a precursor to a dual purpose image to test the macro function of my new Canon SX200 and show damage to a new DVD.

This image has had nik software's Define filter applied to reduce noise, some dust on the DVD has been removed, and the contrast has been tweaked. I will include the Straight Out of Camera JPG, since this is a test shot. Several outdoor photos later I discovered a considerable amount of dirt smudged on the camera’s lens. I don’t know if it was present when this shot was taken (maybe 50-50).

Most of the light is from the NOKIA 445 PRO 20" computer monitor. The two rainbow stripes are from a pair of clear 15W incandescent bulbs on a ceiling fan. Almost no other light is getting into the room.

An additional light is required to show the scratches.

Numbers Rule Your World: The Hidden Influence of Probabilities and Statistics on Everything You Do

WHAT ARE THE ODDS YOU'LL WIN THE LOTTERY?

How long will your kids wait in line at Disney World? Who decides that “standardized tests” are fair? Why do highway engineers build slow-moving ramps? What does it mean, statistically, to be an “Average Joe”? NUMBERS RULE YOUR WORLDIn the popular tradition of eye-opening bestsellers like Freakonomics, The Tipping Point, and Super Crunchers, this fascinating book from renowned statistician and blogger Kaiser Fung takes you inside the hidden world of facts and figures that affect you every day, in every way. These are the statistics that rule your life, your job, your commute, your vacation, your food, your health, your money, and your success. This is how engineers calculate your quality of living, how corporations determine your needs, and how politicians estimate your opinions. These are the numbers you never think about-even though they play a crucial role in every single aspect of your life. What you learn may surprise you, amuse you, or even enrage you. But there's one thing you won't be able to deny: Numbers Rule Your World… "An easy read with a big benefit."—Fareed Zakaria, CNN"For those who have anxiety about how organization data-mining is impacting their world, Kaiser Fung pulls back the curtain to reveal the good and the bad of predictive analytics."—Ian Ayres,Yale professor and author of Super Crunchers: Why Thinking By Numbers is the New Way to Be Smart

"A book that engages us with stories that a journalist would write, the compelling stories behind the stories as illuminated by the numbers, and the dynamics that the numbers reveal."—John Sall, Executive Vice President, SAS Institute "Little did I suspect, when I picked up Kaiser Fung's book, that I would become so entranced by it - an illuminating and accessible exploration of the power of statistical analysis for those of us who have no prior training in a field that he explores so ably."—Peter Clarke, author of Keynes: The Rise, Fall, and Return of the 20th Century's Most Influential Economist"A tremendous book. . . . If you want to understand how to use statistics, how to think with numbers and yet to do this without getting lost in equations, if you've been looking for the book to unlock the door to logical thinking about problems, well, you will be pleased to know that you are holding that book in your hands."—Daniel Finkelstein, Executive Editor, The Times of London "I thoroughly enjoyed this accessible book and enthusiastically recommend it to anyone looking to understand and appreciate the role of statistics and data analysis in solving problems and in creating a better world."—Michael Sherman, Texas A&M University, American Statistician

Know Your Numbers

TELUS had a workplace health firm in for a few days to encourage employees to be aware of their "numbers". I have been promised that TELUS will not get my individual data (though obviously I am not too concerned) but will only see aggregate data. Health and "therapeutic lifestyle" counselling was also available for those who appear to need and/or want it.

another last minute one this week. the composition has blatantly been stolen from previous photos from Joe/Barry (thanks for the inspiration guys - i was somewhat lacking again this week!). but when i thought 'numbers', there was only one possible combination...
